Good middle distance race to start us and quite a few with a winning chance. Think the box draw will have a bit to say, but with TRIUMPH (4) drawing the lowest of the main hopes, just think he gets enough of a run to win it. Does need some luck though. MEPUNGA ROZ (7) is going great, just needs to get around the #5. COCO COASTER (3) the value.
Couple of unknowns in this maiden which always makes it hard. Will put FANTASTIC MAXINE (5) on top, just with the record that these 'Fantastic' dogs bring. Would be surprised if she doesn't have ability. MIGHTY LUKE (1) has a low draw to assist and definitely has ability. Can win. DAKOTA RYAN (2) is from a very promising litter.
VAN ROOYEN (4) looks the most sensible pick here. He has plenty of race experience and this is probably a bit easier than he has faced. If he leads which he most certainly can, then he will take beating. I sense that BIT QUIRKY (7) will be overs, she's actually going well and with the right choices, she can threaten. ELEGANT EMILY (1) for third.
Even race here and hard to write many off. SLIPPER'S MAGGIE (7) was good last week and if she can repeat that run then I think she can take this out. ALL ABOUT LARRY (2) is classy and with an ounce of luck early then he can return a winner. MISTY GREY (1) is well drawn on the fence and should get her chance.
Never fun trying to decipher these full field scampers, with everything always a chance. Just with the low draw, will go with WIRRULLA MELVY (3) who has a really good turn of foot. Just needs to handle any early pressure and he can win. PANAMA QUEEN (5) is faultless early and can get to the lead. EBON COAST (6) is a strong boy.
VICTORY CLUB (1) is drawn to win this race. A wide runner outside and a bitch likely to miss the start in #3, he should get his chance to punch up hard and if he does then I expect him to win, he has plenty of ability. UNIVERSAL VALUE (5) looks the main danger. He does a lot right. HE'S ALL PURPOSE (8) can handle himself well from the deep.
Good race here with the Harris trio drawing the prized boxes. Somewhat confident that MINTER REDEEM (1) can win at decent odds in this. Just think that he can lead early and be a tad too slick out in front. FINISS REDEEM (2) is strong and will be around the mark. MOLLY IRISH (7) is going well right now and might be overs.
Amazing that FANTASTIC ADA (7) still has a grade 6 up her sleeve and off that she just seems really well in. Has pace and is drawn perfectly out wide. Suspect she can fire over early and lead for a long way. BLUE INTENSITY (6) should get his chance to get over early. LAKEVIEW LANA (2) could be value, is strong.
Solid race this and think most will get there chance. CANYA CANDY (4) looks beautifully drawn to my eye. Wide runner outside and a speedy railer below who can block out the #1. Think she can zip to lead and say goodbye. CAPTAIN RITA (2) was great last week and is in this race off that. MISTER CADILLAC (1) is strong.
Always difficult in these pathway races but often gives dogs a chance to improve and I think EASY MONEY MOLLY (5) does that here, at good odds. Continues to find poor luck but with a lack of speed, somewhat confident she can land close and win. ELEGANT EVIE (7) has upside, unlike a couple of these. BULSARA (2) should be around the mark.
Small but certainly a handy field here for our fast class sprint. Going to back ROCAMORA (2) in on the basis that I think the #4 can hold up the likely favourite in #6 early. Might just scoot away to an early lead. MAGIC POPPET (6) is super consistent and if he gets the right run then he should win. INDY VAN COOL (4) has returned in great form.
Closer for the night and going to put some faith in the Nobes camp having CHASING BOYD (2) ready to roll first up. His best form is quite good and if he's close enough to it, then he should make the most of his chance here. SMOOTH VIXEN (7) showed great speed last start and that would have her going close here. JUICY QUE (1) to get show strength.
